Serial No. 638.675.

To all whom it may concern:

Be, it knnvvn that L llmnv lirss'n-zn. a citizen Hf the l ni'tetl States. and resident 0f Salem. e-inntv nl l'i sex. State of Mas a- Ia snt'iaied parts are all familial chnsetts have invented an ln prn-tenit'nt in the melt or lillinfl thread at a of the end l' the lilling. Such filling severing: mean ut' varmn iv; s are well known in the art and for a tainlh. r l' rni relerence "artieularlv tOZ l and well knuwn in autmnatic filling replenishing ll'ntns ut' this type. and need not he described in deta l. nut'heing specifically invulved in llll invention.

I of the lnth to the filling end holder 11 as may he nunle tn the patent in f timpson N0. 70.3. T. granted .lnlv i 1531!. In looms;

pruvided with such lllllllf: it important that the Killing end should he severed as Mifil a pw il le. :1 ml the ohjev't of this. inventinn is to place th filling end at once in the field at tip ratlun of the severing device u as to insnw the filling lining severed prempily.

severing devices To this end means are;

*u-avidml un t l) lmnn frame fur eat-:l'inE x the filling end and keeping it in the held (if operat on ut' the severing d vice, and means are mounted on the lay teengafge the filling and carry it on the forward heatof the lay into engagement with the filling catching means. i

Th natnre of the invention will more fall) ap lear l'rnm the aeennapanving description and drawings and will be particularly [minted Ullt in the claims.

The drawings illustrate only so much of an antumaticfilling replenishing 100m as is necessary to an understanding of the present invention.

In the drawings. Figure 1 is a plan view shmving a portion of the loom frame, lay, filling: feeder and filling severing means suflicient to illustrate in connection therewith the present invention; Fig. 2 is a transverse cross section of the construction shown in Fig. 1.

The loom frame. breasbbeam A. supplying mechanism imlnding the feeder 51' to receive th filling carriers. the weft or filling end hult'lcr Z)". the lay A, the shuttlebox 5 the shuttle f} the temple T and their ilt)\\'ll in Fig. 1. and as the lav beats forward toward the breast-beam this filling end is intended tu he caught aitd severed bv the severing mean but uvving to variation in the character of fabric wm'en. the fnrce reqzzired to heat the filling into the fell. the extent of the "hump of the eluth the posiliun n1 the temple and other causes. the -'\'Ll'lllfl means frequently fails to sever the filling nrmnptlv.

This invention prnvides a filling catchin: device herein shmvn as awhuol; l mounted upon the loom frame, by which term is meant any fixed part of the loom. In the construction illustrated the shank 2 of the hook is halted at 3 to the breast beam A and the point at the hnok which therefore points in the direction of the breast-heath is liarhed at l to catch and retrin the filling. 'l'he hunk is mounted adjacent the filling feeder and has its thread retaining end f nva rd of the severing device. that is nearer the lweast-heam as the lay moves fervvard.

There is also provided means on the la) fur engaging the filling end and carrying i upon the furvrard heat of the la v into engagement with this filling catching device or hunk. This means compr se :1 veitieal projection and preferably two such vertical projectiuns mnnnted on the shuttier: and slmwn at 5. One of these proget-tinns is adjacent the path of the hook 2 on the side toward the temple and the other is located upon the opposite side. It will thus be seen that with the filling end lying 1e shuttle tln'mvn aeruss the lay A. the, I end if the ti ling f 'lll lead from the selvafzc p ssible.

Having fully described my invention,

"Hhatl claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is:
